Journalism

Among recent areas covered for University World News:

Blogs

Blogs have looked at whether increasing UK domestic tuition fees makes sense for the new Starmer Labour government to the student housing crisis in Europe, to why Crimea matters so much to Putin in his war with Ukraine, to what’s it like to be told you have heart failure a more light-hearted piece on just how hard can it be to give up alcohol?

For the European higher education PR network, EUPRIO, we’ve blogged about the communication challenges of reopening campuses as the second wave of the coronavirus swept across the continent and why universities need closer collaboration between PR and marketing department and international offices to boost their reputation on the world stage. 

Communications
